This lens is probably worth buying some sort of Sony Alpha camera, it's just that good.

this lens makes me want to get an α7r4 just to get the most out of it. just wow. ( don't have either yet, and had no plans to acquire... )
I have recently buy this wonderful lens. The previous Ultron 40/2 was glued to my 5DII. So, I hope the same thing will happen with this one.
Sorry, for technical shots but I'm just a bit of a mess right now. Unfortunately I have not the best exemplar . I am not sure that I want (and I can) return it. I made centering tests (siemens star). Centering looks like ok, but the lens has some tilt. Here the corners at f/2.8

To the owners:
Apart of MF/AF, How do you compare this lens to the Batis F2 in image quality/bokeh/Sharpness ?
Just going by comparisons I've seen here, Bokeh/rendering seems preferable on the Voigtlander. Subjective maybe, the CV40 has less busy transition zone bokeh and is just a bit smoother. There is a thread with images you could find if you search. Image quality for landscapes/stopped down, I'm sure both perform very well, I doubt the difference is enough to pick one over the other. Pick the CV40 for size, sharp 10-point sunstars, f1.2, or bokeh reasons. Pick the Batis for AF and close focus reasons.
Semi quarantined, went for a walk in early spring snow to the nearby forest with the kids... loved it... and yes the Sony a7r2 and the Nokton can handle a bit of snow...
